    Poem Commentary

    MT 19:21 Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." MT 6:20-21 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

    Detached

    I can easily let go of
    All the things that I
    Work so hard for because
    Nothing that I earn compares
    To what You are and Who
    You are to me-“No” means
    Turn around or let it be-
    You don’t need to push so
    Hard to succeed in life…

    Success doesn’t come to those
    Who fight for the things they
    Want or Work hard for the
    Things they need-It all comes
    Casually as long as you submit
    Your Will. Have faith, Be patient,
    Just stand still and see the
    Salvation that comes your way.

    Things that you didn’t even ask for
    Will be given away for free-
    Stand still, Be patient-Just let it
    Be- Whatever it is you are holding
    On to will only hold you back-

    What you lack is the will to
    Let it all go…Tell me, What do
    You value more? Stuff or Me?

    My prayer and hope is that everyone here would be like Christ :) I am still so flawed and have a long way to go to meet up with His expectations.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
